Gainesville Coins, Inc. has once again raised the bar when it comes to online coin sales.  With Halloween just around the corner, the stock market isn’t the only scary thing anymore.  GCIGOLD.COM has been over taken by ghouls instead of gold.  

The themed website features an animated haunted house, as well as the occasional flying bat, and crawling spiders.

For the month of October, Gainesville Coins will have a Halloween themed website where the customer is greeted by pumpkins and ghosts along with the normal low prices.

The U.S. Mint’s 2008 American Bald Eagle coins are proving to be popular with coin collectors. Especially the $5 gold and $1 silver versions, with nearly 70% of their max mintage already sold.

All three legal tender coins (gold, silver & clad) celebrate the successful recovery and restoration of the Bald Eagle to America’s skies and the upcoming 35th Anniversary of the Endangered Species Act on December 28.

The popularity of the coins couldn’t make the American Eagle Foundation (AEF) happier since the not-for-profit organization receives a portion of each coin sale — $35 per gold piece, $10 per silver coin, and $3 for each clad.

AEF is dedicated to protecting the majestic Bald Eagle, the USA’s National Symbol, and its habitat by supporting and conducting eagle and environmental recovery and education programs.

"We’re grateful that so many patriots are stepping forward to support our nation’s living symbol of Freedom," said American Eagle Foundation President Al Cecere. "Every American should do their part to help keep this majestic bird thriving for generations to come."
